subject: New Dr. Martens Lineup For Fall 2012 [print this page] Dr. Martens shoes and boots are definitely best suited for the fall season, when the weather turns cool and fashion becomes all about warm footwear. Dr. Martens is famous for designing sturdy shoes and boots that are constructed of high quality leather, featuring welted construction, bouncing soles and yellow stitching on the outsole. Dr. Marten shoes generally have three or four holes, and boots can have eight holes all the way up to twenty. While the classic all-black or cherry red Dr. Martens shoes and boots have remained popular ever since the company was established in 1960, over the years the brand has released numerous new styles. For fall 2012 you'll find floral-patterned, wedge, polka dot, and wingtip Docs, just to name a few.
It's true that Dr. Martens has reinvented itself many times over the years to stay fashionable, but the company never strays far from its classic designs. Also, Doc Martens shoes and boots are never crafted from anything less than superior materials, from start to finish. When Dr. Martens 1460 boots were first released, they were popular among the working class: post office workers, factory workers and police officers who spent a lot of time on their feet. However, in the 1960s skinheads - initially non-racist - took notice of the 1460 style, and their popularity soon spread to other subcultures including punks, Goths, and grunge musicians.
Since then, Dr. Martens boots and shoes have been adopted by the masses, and are now worn by people of all ages, from all walks of life. Originally a style worn by those considered more 'hardcore', the image of Dr. Martens has softened, and is now a mainstream style staple. In addition, the newer Dr. Martens boots and shoes for women feature softer colours like pink and purple, girlie designs such as flowers and even well-loved characters like Hello Kitty. The fall 2012 lineup of women's Dr. Martens includes the brightly coloured Wild Posy, Wild Rose, and wedge-heeled Mandy Desert Boot. Also, Dr. Martens is releasing a collection of women's 7-eye sneakers for fall 2012 in soft blue, black and cherry red.
If you are looking for men's Doc Marten boots or shoes this fall, you won't be disappointed. The shoes are dressier than in the past, ideal for the office or out on a date. New Doc Martens shoes include the Made in England (M.I.E) collection of brogues and tassel loafers. The new boot designs include the vividly-patterned Pendleton, tartan and leather lace-ups, and Alfie 8-eye canvas boot.
This fall, you will see it's not only boots and shoes Dr. Marten is famous for - there's also the model Agyness Deyn's clothing and accessories line for the company, which will be available worldwide. The collaboration includes slim-fitting black pants, checkered shirts, and parkas for guys and girls. So, whether you're looking for modern Dr. Martens footwear or clothing this year, fall 2012 is shaping up to be a great season for the brand.
